What are we doing?

It is Term 2, Week 3 and we are coming to the end of the topic on Merger & Separation. The lessons have been covering reasons for separation and a food for thought question would be, “Was separation inevitable?”.

We will be moving on to challenges that Singapore faced after separation and then we will kick into revision mode (revision notes and practice questions).

I understand the concern that the parents have about the common test after meeting a number of them over the past 2 days so if you are wondering how to help your child, there are a few ways in which you can do so.

1) Ensure that he/she is filing the worksheets and notes given. The content page for Term 1 has been distributed so there is a reference point.

2) As we all know, there is no textbook for GEP Social Studies. However, if you are at a loss as to how to help your child, the mainstream 5B textbook (Interacting With Our World: Building The Nation) may help you to understand what your child is learning during the lessons so you will be better equipped to guide him/her.
